Description Mårten Woxberg 2007-11-16 00:01:41 UTC 
I want to be able to move files up one folder by shift-dragging them onto the button representing the folder in the address field.



Other information:
Say I have a folder structure 
>Home>Downloads>Program

I've just downloaded a program and I want to unpack it. I look in the Program folder, it's not there, so I go one step back, I find the file in the Downloads folder. I select the file, since there are so many files in my downloads folder I have to scroll for a while, I'd want to hold shift and drag it to the Program folder in the address bar instead.
The same works for stuff found in Program that should be in Downloads, instead of using Cut (Ctrl+X) and then go up one and do Paste (Ctrl+V), or open two folders and shift-drag between them.
